Why Not Follow Me?!

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

It reminds me of parent conferences; when I was a teacher talking to my students' parents ... about their daughters (and sons). And the vast majority of them were older than me, especially early in my career.

I am a daughter. Have been for 35 years. I remember as a young girl thinking that my mom - heck, anyone's mom - was old ... perspective is a crazy thing, huh?

I often refer to my daughters as my babies or my girls. When someone points out that I have two daughters, I just feel old.

I guess the word daughter makes me realize that someday my two baby girls are going to be grown women ... perhaps moms themselves with daughters of their own.

And then I will be really old!

Regardless of my age - or how old I feel, I have two beautiful daughters ...
